[Q] Group texting with nexus5 AT&T and iphone - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How is group texting with this phone for the AT&T users? I group text alot with several people who have Iphones and cant seem to find an app or phone that group texting works seemlessly with. I am currently using the HTC one x +.

From what I remember group texting tends to be terrible from android to a apple device (using stock messaging app). You could use google hangouts and also make them get the app and try group messaging on there. I also think that Kik app does group messaging you could try that too. Im sorry if hangouts or kik dont work out, I dont group text.

MMS question

On my nokia e71 you could send a mms without attaching anything to it. I sometimes need to send long text messages and when doing it through the default messaging app it won't let me select just a text mms and I haven't found any third party apps that will let me do it either. People are receiving my long texts as 7 or more texts and they don't come through in order. I figured it would auto convert it to mms but it doesn't.
Is this possible?

I though I had it figured out with gosms but that was a dead end.

I guess u want to send sms via gateways.
there are two best apps on play store for that:
1) free sms sender
2) free sms way
take bb phone for free messaging.
WhatsApp !
Best by far is gosms. Its fast, customizable, easy to use, and gets updated regularly. Handcent has gotten to big and clunky lately

GoSMS is a good message app, has a lot of features and settings. Very customizable.

Tmobile mms not working

Since I had the phone on Thursday everything was fine. I've been using 8sms messaging app and I was able to send and receive pictures. But on Monday all my mms speed coming through. All I get is the notification that there is an mms waiting (see picture). And it's not just for pictures but even if I send a mass text message to a couple people and someone replies it comes back as a mms and even that won't come through, after I click the "download" button it just says "couldn't download message no subject from (senders name)". I'm on a T-Mobile family plan.

will they come through in the hangouts app?
Seems no, I changed my default messaging app back to hangout and had a friend send me a picture, she says she sent two but nothing came through not even the notification like in the above screenshot.

are you using an alternate gallery besides the stock gallery and/or the photos app?

Oh wow - I have to say this is really dumb, I just changed my default to making app to textra and all the pictures/ mms I had waiting came through in the textra app. Still nothing through hangouts and 8sms...

I had this issue a few phones ago with Tmobile. I had to call and add MMS to my account even though it's free. Might not still be that way but worth a call.
Well it works with the textra app but not with hangouts or 8sms.
